My model is so sweet, don’t ya think? Fresh out of the bath with her ‘jamas. Sorry for the poor lighting.. I put off taking this picture all day only to discover it had gotten dark outside.
A couple of weekends ago my 17 yr old niece asked if I could make her a hat for [...]

Giveaway – Vintage Inspired Scarf
I’m somewhat proud of myself with this one. You see, during last Tuesday’s knitting group I was supposed to be working on socks, but the girl in charge of the patterns forgot them. No big deal, I said. So I started digging around in my craft bag and pulled out a lovely picture of a [...]

Wait For It…Wait For It
Do you ever feel like you’re so close to understanding something but yet it’s still just a tiny little milli-inch out of your comprehension? (Like maybe understanding what in the world I’m trying to say here?:)) You know, like that dream you had last night? It’s swirling around in your thoughts but when you try [...]

Knitting is for the Old and Boring
This is why “Knit Club” should be reserved for eating and talking! I’ve flubbed up this specific blanket twice now.
My husband is convinced that Knit Club is for the old and boring.. and he secretly thinks I’m such a fuddy-dud for going. Every time I come home he asks, “Were you the youngest [...]

Five and a Half Knitters
Guess what? I actually went to the World Wide Knit in Public event that I talked about! I had a lot of fun too! There weren’t too many of us, only six..well, truth be told, I only count as half a knitter.. I have much to learn yet…But these ladies were all so nice and [...]

Craft Hope
While hopping around the crafting blogs I spotted a sidebar button that I’d never seen before.. so I clicked it and low and behold it introduced me to a lovely lady and her daughters who are making a difference in the lives of little children throughout the world. The idea is very simple.. encourage crafters [...]

Knitting
It’s a crazy thing, that knitting. So relaxing..so frustrating. I’ve thrown it down for the last time, oh, about five times now.. but something about it always calls me back. It consumes my crafting time.. so much so that I haven’t worked on anything else for quite some time. But I’ve learned a thing or [...]

Why Aren’t You Clicking?
Can you see it?
How about now? I purled when I should have knitted.
It’s been less than a week that I had to rip out around 10 rows due to a couple dropped stitches that I missed seeing.. and now this? Grrrr! It’s my fault…I was watching the Super Bowl, talking with one of my friends, [...]

Learning
I’m still working on the shawl I started way back when. She’s coming along, slowly by surely. It’s my first real knitting project and I’ve had to improvise – a lot. If you remember, I set my sights very high and of course the pattern was too advanced for my lack of experience. I knew [...]
